Holy.  fuging.  poo.

 

I have no idea how a suit like that gets filed then settled out of court and the matter just evaporates.  You would've thought the DA would've stepped in and said, "Fine, he wrote you a check but we're still pursuing the criminal side of this."

 

Your average Joe shoots somebody in the face, you're going to fuging jail.  I guess if you're a star NFL player or the VP, there are certain allowances.  Shooting people in the face looks to be one of those allowances.

Well it says it was filed last week. So we have no clue when the incident took place. He could still be charged.

This does not bode well at all overall the guy obviously, considering what occured yesterday.

Regardless of what happens in all this, the league is definitely going to have something to say about it all.

Edit: Just saw it happened in February. You get shot in the face and it takes this long to sue him?

He gave the guy cash 4 days before he filed suit. Guess trying to keep him quiet.

Edit: sorry they dissmissed the suite after 4 days.

Well what I'm wondering about it is how this has been kept quiet for that many months. If he allegedly shot someone in the face and was identified it is beyond my understanding how he wasn't atleast named a suspect in the shooting.

I edited my op. Sounds like he was payed 4 days after the suite was filed. The victim probably claimed it to be an accident and/or was asked to keep quiet. After he got money of course.

The victim got paid off, and possibly threatened?  Pure speculation but the shooting incident a few months before a murder.  Seems like Mr. Hernandez feels he is above the law.  Not to mention the multiple failed drug tests in college while was at Florida.

I don't know about threatening the victim. Maybe he was paid for his silence. Like " I'll give you X amount, just drop the charges/say it was accidental and not to speak to the media about it". Its all speculation on my part, but I can't think of any other way this doesn't leak out til now...

Or, gasp, the guy suing is just an opportunistic SOB trying to get money out of Hernandez.

 

We're also told ... Bradley will argue that the bullet initially struck him in the arm and continued traveling through his body until it struck him in the face .... blowing out his eyeball.

 

 

But rich people are above the law, see Marvin Harrison.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
